Chapter 202: Expo

Chapter 202 Expo
The corridors of the Colosseum are very spacious.
On both sides of the corridor, a stone pillar with relief stands every few meters to lead to the end.
The semi-circular arc ground is made up of block stone slabs, and dark blue markings are visible on it, giving a heavy sense of sight.
When Maude walked on the corridor, many people with different expressions could be seen.
These people sit or stand, in a cryptic posture, watching the contestants walking from the entrance to here.
This kind of pretending to be full of wait-and-see behavior is more out of investigation.
In the final analysis, this time the championship income has injected unprecedented vitality into the Beasts Contest.
In order to get the devil fruit that is rumored to be an ancient animal species, and Bailey, who started with fifty million.
In the Colosseum, both novices and veterans are full of energy.
Fortunately, Qian said that the ancient devil fruit of the animal family is a rare thing in the world, and it is very popular.
If it weren't for the national conditions of the Ahab Kingdom, such a rare devil fruit, it would be hard to imagine that it would be treated as a prize for the champion of a contest for fun with beasts.
As soon as he entered the Colosseum, Maude was baptized by his eyes again.
This is the unavoidable effect of fame.
No matter where he goes, he will always attract the attention of most people present.
The gaze that looked at him was mostly unconcealed scrutiny.
If his reputation is more deterrent, even if it will attract the attention of people around him, it will not be so unscrupulously looked at.
Ignoring the gaze from the surroundings, Maude and his group traveled in two directions under the guidance of the staff arrangement.
Maude is a contestant, so he has to go to the lounge on the left, while Lafayette and the others are spectators, and they have to go to the auditorium of the Colosseum Arena from the right.
When they parted, Maude gave Lafayette a wink, and the latter gave him a no problem gesture.
In this competition, in addition to getting the Devil Fruit, they also plan to make a fortune from the betting market of the Beast Contest.
And their gambling money is the tens of millions of Baileys recently searched on East Street.
In addition, their trump card is-seemingly weak and helpless and poor Bailey.
The two essentially different Baileys are the key to their profit in this Beast Contest.
After parting with Lafayette, Maude and Luo went to the lounge prepared by the organizers for the players.
According to leading staff, there are 50 large lounges in the Colosseum, which covers an area several times larger than the conventional Roman arena.
At present, every lounge is full, which shows how hot the Beast Contest is.
After arriving in the lounge, as the staff said, the heads of the lounge were full of people.
When they got here, Beibo and Bailey, as fighting beasts, were led to another room by the staff.
Seeing that the lounge was crowded, Maude turned around and walked to the corridor outside.
Luo naturally couldn't get in and squeeze, and followed Maude to the outside.
It's no wonder that there will be so many contestants on the corridor, stopping or sitting on the ground.
The feelings are not all for investigation, but the lounge is full.
Maude leaned against the corridor wall, took out the beast rules book he had just asked the staff, and looked down carefully.
Not far away, a small group of contestants looked surprised at Maude, who was flipping through the rule book.
That kind of small book is actually for the audience.
Normally, those who come to participate will basically have a thorough understanding of the rules of the beast in advance.
On the eve of the start of the Beasts Contest, Maude actually took out a small rule book to read, and he read it so seriously.
It feels like they are playing tickets.
Maude ignored the surprised gaze from the surroundings and looked at the rules of the contest with interest.
Luo did not disturb Maude's interest, held the knife against the wall, slightly lowered his head, closed his eyes and slumbered.
After a long time, Maude closed the notebook.
"It's really nasty."
Maude said to himself.
Fighting beasts, understood literally, is a fight between wild beasts.
The rules are not complicated and clear enough.
In short, the condition of victory is immortality.
What's interesting is that the word "beast" in fighting beasts also includes humans.
In other words, in the subsequent Beast Contest, in addition to the more common large-scale ferocious beasts, you may still be able to see humans on all fours.
In addition to this, what is more interesting is that the fighting beasts can wear various special equipment and props.
Before Maude brought Bailey to the competition, he really didn't know this rule.
But it doesn't matter.
Anyway, Bailey’s position in the competition is to play as a pig and eat a tiger. He played a few waves of weak and pitiful in the early stage, so that the odds of betting can be raised a little bit, so he does not have to wear those messy equipment.
Hearing Maude's whisper, Luo slowly opened his eyes and glanced at Maude.
Perceiving Luo's gaze, Maude held up his notebook and asked: "Are you clear about the rules?"
Luo shook his head.
It was Beibo and not him who came to participate in the competition, so how could he have a deep understanding of the rules of fighting beasts.
"Let’s take a look before the contest has started?"
Maude shook the rule book to Luo.
"Not interested in."
Luo rejected Maude's kindness.
Maude looked at Luo in surprise, and sighed: "You are so casual."
"..."
Luo raised his hand and pulled the edge of his fur hat down a little bit, thinking about what right to say to a guy like you, who is holding the Buddha's feet temporarily.
The attitude of these two contestants is full of playfulness.
However, the fighting beast they brought over was full of brazen fighting spirit.
Time passed bit by bit.
As the opening ceremony came to an end, there were already full seats in the round Colosseum Arena, which could hold more than one hundred thousand people.
And outside the Colosseum, there are also live broadcasts broadcast by the image worm.
For this event, the Kingdom of Ahab almost exhausted all its manpower and resources.
In return, when the competition is over, there will certainly be considerable benefits.
Maude and Luo came to the viewing platform at the top and looked down at the densely packed heads in the circular arena.
"so many people……"
A strange color flashed across Maude's eyes.
Despite his psychological preparation, the heat of this event was beyond his imagination.
He looked at the auditorium, which was not half empty, and suddenly an idea came to his mind.
In time, if you have enough capital...
Perhaps, he can also prepare a "Expo" similar to the Beast Contest.
As long as you prepare a heavy prize that the heroes of all walks of life can't resist, you can turn "Expo" into a mouse trap, attracting prey one by one.
As his mood floated, Maude narrowed his eyes slightly.
Luo felt a little bit surprised and looked at Maude who exuded awe-inspiring aura.
At this moment, along with the host's passionate opening remarks, in the circular arena, large iron gates with fences located in four directions slowly rose, and silhouettes walked out of the iron gates.
In the center of the arena is a huge square stone arena with four straight stone roads extending around it.
The end of the stone road leads directly to the place where the iron gate is. The overall look and feel is quite similar to the cross street structure in Dick City.
The rest of the area is occupied by a thorn-like plant.
That thorn-like plant is exactly the target of Luo's trip-the roots of the hanging vine.
The spikes on the roots are highly poisonous, even if it is just a trivial wound, the toxins that have penetrated into the blood can give the poisoned person experience the heart-grabbing of life inferior to death in just one minute. pain.
If there is no antidote, the poisoned person will live and die.
This highly poisonous plant is not only a national treasure for the survival of Ahab, but also a frequent visitor to various types of torture. It is often used by nobles to torture slaves for pleasure.
At this time, the area outside the square ring was planted with the roots of the hanging lamp vine, and its intention was obvious.
Above the southern auditorium of the arena, a giant screen hangs.
Following the perspective of the image worm looking into the arena, live images of giant beasts appeared on the giant screen.
After the lens was zoomed in and zoomed in, the terrible deterrence displayed by the beast caused frequent exclamations in the audience.
Suddenly, the staff in charge of the broadcast was very naughty and put the perspective of the image bug on a special contestant.
Immediately afterwards, Pelina's short figure slowly crawling on the stone path appeared on the screen, which formed a strong contrast with the surrounding giant and mighty beasts.
There was a brief silence in the audience.
A few seconds later, laughter slammed into the arena like a tide.
"Puff, hahaha!"
"Haha, what is that little white guy?"
"That kind of body type, you can finish playing with one foot, right?"
"Hahaha..."
Seeing Bailey's salted fish, not only the audience in the Arena of Beasts were happy, but also laughter came from outside.
So funny.
It was the first time that they saw such a small thing to participate in the endless beast contest.
Maybe, you will be stepped on a small cake at the beginning.
